    Subject: Speed up NFS performance?

    Hello everyone,

    Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as tuning NFS for
    performance? Currently we are dumping a database from one server to an
    NFS share but it is taking an incredibly long time to dump. Both systems
    are running AIX 5.1.

    The size of the database files: 500Gb
    The files are comprised of about 56 files Physically, the data is moving
    from one Shark to another.

    Locally we can dump this much data in about 4 hours. When we try dumping
    it to an NFS mount, about 200Gb took almost 7hrs.

    I would like to speed up the NFS mount to be able to receive this data
    as quickly as possible. Can anyone help?

    Thank you all in advance,

    Andrew
